  2. Electrical safety for kids and adults is a big issue with households now having so many electrical gadgets. Many people take electric fitting and power for granted, but it can be a killer and just takes one mistake. If you have any doubts about the safety of the wiring in your home ask your local Electrician on the Gold Cast to check it for you. It is far better to be safe than sorry.

  3. Kids Will Be Kids Kids are naturally curious and just do not have any idea of just how dangerous electricity is. Hundreds of people are seriously burnt or killed each year. So it is much to deal with electrical problems before they become a danger.

  4. Covering Electrical Outlets If you have young children the simplest way to protect them from electrical shock is to buy electrical outlet covers so they cannot put anything in the sockets.

  5. Make It Hard For Children To Pull Out Electrical Leads And Cords Consider moving your furniture so any electrical points are hidden from little fingers as it’s so tempting to pull on cords, one of the danger is if they try and push them in and do not hold the plug properly.

  6. Keeping Unused Electrical Appliances Out Or Reach Many homes are full of small portable devices such as hair driers, electric razors, toasters, blenders, radios, cell phones, chargeable flash-lights, etc. It is very tempting for children to play at being grown up and copy what you do. Plugging in a small electrical device and then spilling liquid on it or using it the wrong way could spell disaster. It is best to keep all small appliances out of reach.

  7. Power Cords Can Be Dangerous Never, wind up a power cord while still plugged in. All it takes is a part of the cord to be damaged with a few of the fine wires sticking out and you could get a shock or even killed. Always unplug it from the socket even if it’s working fine. If your appliance buzzes or flickers, there is the slightest smell of smoke or it warms up, turn it off immediately and discard it or have it serviced in your local certified repair shop or by you friendly local electrician Gold Coast. Doing it yourself with electrical fittings and making even a small mistake could cost you your life, the life of your loved ones or your home. It just is not worth the risk to save a few dollars.

  8. Trailing cords Trailing power cords and extension cords with multiple plugs are a hazard for children as they are easy to trip over or pull out. It is easy to shorten a trailing cord just coil it and tie it with a tie or tape Self-sticking mini hooks are great and a very inexpensive way of holding cords out of harm’s way. Running a cord around a door frame or along a curtain rod is also very effective.
